Questions
What beats Mono-Green Landfall in Standard?
Across the last 90 days, Izzet Spellementals (65% over 26 matches), 4c Control (67% over 6 matches) and Selesnya Landfall (67% over 6 matches) hold the best recorded results against Mono-Green Landfall. Records come from events that publish round-by-round pairings, and both decks in a match have to be identified for it to count, so these are the pairings we can see rather than every match played.
What should I bring in against Mono-Green Landfall?
We do not have sideboard choices tied to individual matches, so this is not a sideboard guide. What the data supports is narrower: the 3 decks with the best records against Mono-Green Landfall — Izzet Spellementals, 4c Control and Selesnya Landfall — most commonly run Flashfreeze, Disdainful Stroke, Annul, Ghost Vacuum and Sheltered by Ghosts in their sideboards. Those are whole-sideboard frequencies across every matchup those decks play.

Mono-Green Landfall's best recorded matchups over the same window are Dimir Midrange (63% across 16 matches) and Dimir Excruciator (60% across 5 matches). If you are picking a deck to attack Mono-Green Landfall with, these are the ones the record argues against.
How reliable are these Standard matchup numbers?
Not very, and the page says so per row rather than in aggregate. Every pairing shows its match count, its sample band and a 95% range; the strongest band we award is 20+ matches, which is still roughly a ±20-point range around the figure shown. Pairings under 5 matches are counted but never given a percentage — there are 25 of those for Mono-Green Landfall right now. Rankings use the bottom of each range rather than the headline percentage, so a small sample cannot outrank a large one it has not earned.
What period does this cover?
Matches played in the last 90 days, filtered on when each match was actually played. Archetypes that have dropped out of the Standard metagame are excluded from the ranking, which removes 1 pairing here — their historical records are still on Mono-Green Landfall's own archetype page and in the format matchup matrix.
